jekyll-redirect-from VS pages-gem

Cool. Checking it out.

For those looking for more options, Dub[1] is a matured open-source[2] link shortener with Analytics.

For not-so-large volumes of links, say for friends-family, and the occasional public links, you can run something off Github Pages[3] with their built-in Jekyll + Redirect-From Plugin[4]. If you do not want to, you do not even need to have the code run locally, just edit on Github. I run one to easily share links for the family and relatives (photos, that document link, along with the Rick-Roll Video).

Tip: If one wants to run an indie or personal or family/friends shortlink for easy sharing, try to have it on your own domain. This allowed me to moved between tools that powers it.

I was looking at https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from , but this accomplishes redirects by using the "http-refresh" meta, and I don't know if using that will damage my site's SEO (we are eventually going to be moving our site to an all-static site, but we have hundreds of redirects to import over)

GitHub Pages - (https://pages.github.com/) – if you already have a git account, kindly ignore this.

If you do not need a domain you can also publish a static page as your blog on Github: https://pages.github.com

If you don't want to use Jekyll as your static site generator for GitHub Pages and you want to have a custom domain for your GitHub Pages. This post is for you!

At the end of my last post, we had a structure in place that used GitHub Actions to run a workflow every time a change was committed to the PPC repository. That workflow would rebuild the website and publish it on GitHub Pages.

This guide will walk you through a comprehensive and straightforward approach to configuring GitHub Actions for Vue and Vite applications and using GitHub Pages for deployment, providing you with a clear and practical roadmap to implement CI/CD pipelines from scratch.

One day my friend Brandon Boone presented me with a quick and easy way to get a free landing page with a clean subdomain - GitHub Pages.

One of the nicest things about static site generators is that Github is offering a fully integrated solution for free. They manage your files using Git, will build your website using ANY static site generator with Github Actions, and allow you to host the output on Github Pages. When you use Frontmatter.codes in Visual Studio Code you will even get a fully featured (and free) CMS.

The test subjects include Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, and the newly discovered EdgeOne Pages from Tencent Cloud. The measurement indicators include global access latency, Google Lighthouse metrics and the smoothness of the deployment process.

Browser.application is used when you want to support client-side routing. However, it requires you to be able to configure your web server to redirect requests to your index.html file. Since GitHub Pages doesn't allow you to customize their web server, you're forced to switch to another hosting service like Netlify, Render, or Cloudflare Pages. Thankfully, they all make it easy to do the configuration that's needed.
